Member Jonathan Kay Posted November 9, 2019 Member Share Posted November 9, 2019 From the Assembly Guide:Figure 129: Anti-roll bar connections 1. Bolt 2. Plain washer 3. Extension piece 4. Drop link 5. Anti-roll bar NOTE Droplink assembly and connections shown rotated through 180° for clarity.9.12) Anti-roll bar connection and adjustment Shorten the droplinks as much as possible ensuring the threaded ends face in the same direction. Tighten locknuts. Remove the nuts from the ends and discard, apply Loctite to the threaded arm of the droplink and screw into the extension piece using washer (15), refer to Fig 133. Pass the threaded portion of the lower droplink through the anti-roll bar and secure with nyloc nut (fastener pack 30R011A Item 9). The position of the droplinks in the anti-roll bar determines the degree of the anti-roll given. Positioning the droplinks closer to the pivot (at the cotton reel bushes) will give more roll resistance. The same position must be set both LH and RH. The rearmost hole is the softest and forward most hole is the stiffest position. ... If you'd like a copy please send me a Private Message with your email address and details of the Seven.But that only tells you how to select a setting, not which setting to select...Previous discussions.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Geoff Brown Posted November 10, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted November 10, 2019 You can start from the hole farthest forward, go for a drive & experience how the car handles. Beware it could be interesting. I ended up with the second hole in from the rear on my R400. The back end follows well without too much drama . It just depends on what you want & the tyres/suspension fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22daz Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Also bear in mind that they can be staggered by one hole to give you a finer adjustment between the 4 settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Also item 3 is no longer fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted November 11, 2019 Member Share Posted November 11, 2019 Thanks.The note I posted in #2 above was from "Version 02.2015c". Have you got something more recent, please?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I have nothing more recent than 02.2015c for Duratec cars. it's just no longer fitted and the drop link is moved to the other side. I had a photo sent to me during my 2016 build, but it is shown in 1.2 of the new manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Geoff Brown Posted November 11, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted November 11, 2019 Without 'item three' (spacer) it appears that the drop link will be at an angle so surely this will change the effectiveness of the link & change the deflection angle as the original fitment with item three allows for a near vertical position?

David White Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Rotating the bottom of the link such that the top and bottom point in opposite directions seems to eliminate the need for the spacer. Unfortunately iIdon't have a clear photo from my build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
